Crib Chatter

This 5-bedroom single family home at 1652 N. Bell in Bucktown has been on and off the market since March 2012. If it looks familiar, that’s because we chattered about it in October 2012, after it first came on the market, and again a year ago, in December 2017. Back in 2012, we were wondering […]

This 2-bedroom townhouse at 1005 W. Dickens in Lincoln Park came on the market in October 2018. Built in 1984, this is a group of 6 townhouses plus detached garage parking. The picture above is of 1003 and 1004 W. Dickens. You can see the start of 1005 on the far right of the picture. […]

This 2-bedroom at City Center Lofts at 212 W. Washington in the Loop just came on the market. Built in 1913, this unit was converted into condos in 2000. It’s a full service building with 183 units and deeded garage parking. This building was sold as “lofts” but other than 10 foot ceilings a large […]

This 2-bedroom in 400 N. LaSalle in River North just came on the market. 400 N. LaSalle was converted into condominiums during the condo boom in 2005. It has 448 units and an attached rental parking garage. If you recall from our prior chatter, the sales of units in this building ran into difficulty in […]

This 4-bedroom Greystone row house at 639 W. Surf in East Lakeview came on the market in May 2018. Built in 1886, it’s an attached brick and stone row house on a 19 x 116 x 39 x 82 lot which still has some of its vintage features such as 10 foot first floor ceilings […]

This 2-bedroom on the 68th floor of the John Hancock at 175 E. Delaware in the Gold Coast came on the market in June 2018. Yes, I’m still calling it the John Hancock until they announce the new name. Built in 1969, it has 703 units and rental parking. It’s a full service building with […]

This 4-bedroom townhouse in Sandburg Village at 1406 N. Sandburg Terrace in the Gold Coast came on the market in October 2018. The above picture is of some of the townhouses- but I’m not sure if it’s this specific block or not. It’s in a 12-unit association that shares a 150 foot private park. The […]

This 2-bedroom loft in the Epicenter Lofts at 1000 W. Washington in the West Loop came on the market in September 2018. (Yes, this is an awful picture and I need to get a new one. Sorry! It’s old.) The Epicenter is a brick industrial building constructed in 1882. It has 178 units, a doorman and a […]

This 3-bedroom single family home at 3408 N. Bosworth in Southport just came on the market. Long time readers, though, will recognize it because we chattered about it numerous times the last time it was on (and off) the market which was between 2010 and 2017. We last chattered about it in January 2017. You […]

This 2-bedroom top floor vintage unit at 1647 N. Sedgwick in Old Town came on the market in July 2018. We chattered about it then. You can read that chatter here. If it looks familiar to long time readers, that’s because we also chattered about it in both 2008 and 2014, when it previously sold. […]
